FSS DC1

The FSS Decade Counter DC1 takes a clock pulse and shares the clock to 10 outputs, sequentially counting through them. There are reset and disable inputs to allow interesting sequences with more LFOs or other gate/trigger/clock sources, and a /10 output to give a gate output when a step-cycle begins. The maximum step number is 10 but this can then be limited by patching a step output back into the reset input. The DC1 outputs a standard gate signal of +5V.

There are many uses for this module. As well as a 10 step gate sequencer driven by an LFO, a gate signal could be set to drive the module and trigger up to 10 different sounds. With only 2 steps used, the performer can alternate between two different voices per note, which can be useful for creating a bowing effect.
